A Luxury Apartment, Shoes and More: What Does Miss Universe Win?

Iris Mittenaere from France made history on January 30 when she won the title of Miss Universe, besting contestants from 85 other countries. She is only the second title-holder from France, which last won the beauty pageant in 1953.

Aside from the sapphire-and-diamond-encrusted crown from Diamonds International Inc., estimated to be worth $300,000, Mittenaere will also receive a lucrative prize package.
